Image Credit: LGCES knows how to surprise us. Think creepy humanoid robots, robovacs that climb stairs, plus AI in everything. Companies at CES 2026 pitched new bots as home helpers and companions. Are they ready to join our lives? I say no. For most people, handing off everyday grunt work to humanoid bots still feels unrealistic. That said, they’re inching closer to being useful. A few other robots caught my eye too, though—for more unexpected reasons.Humanoid robots: LG CLOiD and SwitchBot Onero H1LG’s CLOiD (concept/prototype) isn’t too strange for a home robot. It looks a bit human and handles useful…

Against that backdrop, Europe’s reliance on American-made AI begins to look more and more like a liability. In a worst case scenario, though experts consider the possibility remote, the US could choose to withhold access to AI services and crucial digital infrastructure. More plausibly, the Trump administration could use Europe’s dependence as leverage as the two sides continue to iron out a trade deal. “That dependency is a liability in any negotiation—and we are going to be negotiating increasingly with the US,” says Taddeo.The European Commission, White House, and UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology did not respond to…
